But their must be a reason to delay closing the estate.

The executor distributes the money to the beneficiaries after the estate's debts have been settled to the satisfaction of the court. Each beneficiary is responsible for what they do with the money. There is no requirement, and it would be detrimental, for the executor to play bookkeeper and accountant and pay of the debts of the beneficiaries of the estate.

What can be done if the executor of an estate wants all the jewelry of deceased parents to distribute but the remaining beneficiaries don't feel the executor will distribute fairly?
If the will gives the jewelry to the children of the deceased, then they all own all of it equally, meaning no one person is entitled to or may choose any particular item. Some will give the executor the authority to use discretion in giving out specific items to individual beneficiaries. In that case the executor's decisions are final unless that discretion has been abused or not exercised for the equal benefit of all beneficiaries. If the beneficiaries believe that the executor will in the future distribute the items unfairly, there is nothing that can be done. Yet. A court will not take a case on a supposition that something wrong will be done unless there is proof that beneficiaries will suffer some irreparable harm if they have to wait until distribution is made. An example would be if the executor intends to send a family heirloom to someone out of the country and beyond the jurisdiction of the court to get it back. If te executor has made known a plan to distribute jewelry unfairly, beneficiaries can informally tell him they are against it and he should not make distribution. This usually works because an executor does not want to get entangled in litigation in which he might be hit with a damage award that he has to pay out of his own pocket or suffer a loss of his executor's compensation for not doing the job right. If distribution has been made, a lawsuit may be filed in the probate court alleging the unfair distribution and demanding the return of the items, the removal of the executor, the forfeiture of all compensation and payment of money damages by him/her personally. If no agreement can be reached on distribution of items (a common situation) the executor will propose an auction of the items and the proceeds of the auction instead of the jewelry will be distributed to the beneficiaries. This is a common problem because jewelry has both a monetary and a sentimental value. Plus, there may not be enough pieces to go around. And of course the big question usually is Who gets mom's diamond ring? In the end, a court will disregard sentimental value and distribute the jewelry in the only way it can. That is by selling it and giving out the money.
